Release untapped energy in individuals

Free up trapped energy in organizations

As a change agent or growth agent, you recognize the need to practice on the leading edge to get more clients, better serve your organization and distinguish yourself in a crowded field. You need to add world-class expertise to your tool kit.

Invest in your professional success, satisfaction, and impact. Learn how to use a richer, deeper, comprehensive system that catalyzes real and lasting change and development in your clients. The Berens CORE Approach builds on and goes beyond existing typology models and tools to increase acceptance and minimize client resistance. Berens CORE links to common models, bridging to previous typology work, and uses an interactive, self-awareness approach rather than relying on a forced-choice or either/or approach. This safe approach overcomes the challenges of installing type language in an organization.

Berens CORE provides a coherent view, blending three different ways of looking at human beings. Each provides a different lens for different situations. Each brings different information to understanding human behavior, meaning making, and interactions.

Essential Motivators (aka Temperament)—Why we do what we do, our deep motivations

Cognitive Dynamics—What information and evaluation process we tend to give preference to and be talented in

Each lens is easily understood and utilized; yet the Berens CORE approach gives the means to address the richness and complexity of human beings operating in complex living systems. Berens CORE is scalable and can be used as a language to improve communication, make conflict productive, and engage employees while promoting growth.
